Tweets from a recent #Lincolnshire Day Ranger rail ticket to cover what remains of the railways there. The railway network in the county was severely depleted by the closures of October 1970 but passenger services to the east coast @ #Skegness & #Cleethorpes remain. 1/15 
Starting at #Skegness, the station concourse features a statue of 'Skegness Sam', famous from the 'Skegness is so Bracing' old Great Northern Railway poster. Old style semaphore signals still exist & the line from #Nottingham in now known as 'Poacher Line'. 2/15
Skegness-Grantham: Top left c/w leaving #Skegness the train passed the scorched, flat agricultural lands of #Lincolnshire & through market towns of #Boston, with it landmark church (Boston Stump) & #Sleaford with its magnificent set of disused malthouses once owned by Bass. 3/15
1) In remembrance of that "prodigy in nature" Daniel Lambert, a "remarkably great personage" who amazed the people of England at the turn of the nineteenth century. Lambert was born in Leicester in 1770, an active field-sportsman in his youth, "not of more than usual size"...
2) Working as keeper of Leicester jail, Lambert's size began to grow - despite by his own account, abstaining from alcohol and not eating unusual amounts of food. When the jail closed in 1805, Lambert weighed 50 stone - the heaviest recorded person up to that point in history..
3) With the closure of his jail, poverty sadly forced Lambert to display himself as a spectacle in London and around England. He travelled to the metropolis in a specially-made, reinforced carriage and there people paid a shilling each to marvel at his size..
